Numerous names have been tossed around for the cast of Josh Trank's upcoming Fantastic Four reboot, including Michael B. Jordan, Kate Mara, Kit Harrington, Saorise Ronan and Miles Teller. With production reportedly expected to start early next year, it shouldn't be long until we hear an official word from 20th Century Fox.

Until then, Teller, who will next be seen in That Awkward Moment alongside Jordan and Zac Efron, recently dropped a hint that he is indeed in the running for a part in the film. However, he noted, it could also conflict with his shooting schedule for the next Divergent movie, Insurgent.

"I don't have anything that I'm doing until probably January or February," Teller explained to Fandango at the Savannah Film Festival. "I don't know 100 percent. Obviously Insurgent, the next Divergent film... I think they are going to start the second one in April."

As for Fantastic Four? "Uh, you know, I don't know," he continued. "If that happens, if everything works out, then I will be pretty pumped. But then I'll also be working for... It's like seven months out of your year. Which is not a bad problem."

Back in August, Teller was rumored to be up for the part of Reed Richards, aka Mr. Fantastic, in the comic book movie remake. The question now is, could the actor do both Insurgent and Fantastic Four? Stay tuned...
